I've read articles like Scott Meyer's EC++ (Item 22) that advocate the use
of references when passing parameters. I understand the reasoning behind
using references--you avoid the cost of creating a local object when you
pass an object by reference.
But why use a reference? Is there any inherent advantage of using a
reference over using a pointer? My workplace discourages the use of
pointers when it comes to parameter passing. They...

Recently I happens to read some sourcecode which has different style
from my previous experience.
In this style, all functions return a RETURN_TYPE_T which is defined as
typedef unsigned int RETURN_TYPE_T;
and the return value can only be enum value
enum

SUCCESS = 0,
FAILURE = 1,

I was having a discussion with somebody and I think it's just religious.
We are developing some software and he was looking through my code.
I use if (pointer) to test a pointer for NULL. He says it must be if
(p!=NULL).
The arguments are that it's more readable and that if (p) is not portable.
I said the first is a style issue and that I think if(p) is more readable
and that the second is plain wrong.
So, is he right about the...

I've written a piece of code that uses sockets a lot (I know that
sockets aren't portable C, this is not a question about sockets per
se). Much of my code ended up looking like this:
if (function(socket, args) == -1) {
perror("function");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
I feel that the ifs destroy the readability of my code. Would it be

Hi!
The question of type checking/enforcing has bothered me for a while, and
since this newsgroup has a wealth of competence subscribed to it, I
figured this would be a great way of learning from the experts. I feel
there's a tradeoff between clear, easily readdable and extensible code
on one side, and safe code providing early errors and useful tracebacks
on the other. I want both! How do you guys do it? What's the pythonic
way? Are...

I've always been a little sketchy on the differences between static,
dynamic, and reinterpret casting. I am looking to clean up the
following block by using C++ casting instead of the C style casting.
from what I am reading, I should use reinterpret cast in this
situation, is that correct? Why does static and dynamic casting fail
me?

Overview:
Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own....
Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...

I am currently learning how to create and manage the different types of VPNs and I have a question about LAN-to-LAN VPNs.
The last exercise I practiced was to create a LAN-to-LAN VPN between two Pfsense firewalls, by using IPSEC protocols.
I succeeded, with both firewalls in the same network. But I'm wondering if it's possible to do the same thing, with 2 Pfsense firewalls...
